Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design by David MacKay, which depicts a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, along with the inscription "ELIZABETH II • QUEEN OF JERSEY" and the coin's denomination "5 POUNDS". This design was specifically created for the Jersey issue of the coin and sets it apart from other coins featuring the standard effigy of the Queen used on British coins.
